Sep 13 Aurora HDR 2018 Now Available to Preorder

The next version of AuroraHDR is now available to pre-order from MacPhun. Aurora2018 will be available for both Mac and PC and features a new interface among many other additions.

I’ve used the beta version briefly, and I’ll have a full report when I have a chance to play around with it properly, but so far, I’m impressed. It does seem snappier overall and the interface is a good bit different. Everything is a bit smaller, so you can have more on screen at the one time, and it looks better on a large monitor. Well, in my opinion anyway. I haven’t been able to try the windows version as I don’t have access to a PC, but from what I’ve read from other people who have tried it, it seems to be more or less identical.

Above is a quick first look at the software. I will be putting it through its paces properly over the next little while, and I’ll try and have a full review ready by the time of the actual release date, but for new, here’s some of the information from Macphun regarding the software.

History Panel - An easy-to-reference list of edits made to your image, the History panel allows you to click on any editing step to revert the photo to an earlier stage of editing.

Touch Bar support for Mac - Aurora HDR 2018 adds Touch Bar support to give new MacBook Pro users fast access to key editing features and speed up their workflow.

Image Flip and Rotate - Perfect for correcting photos with incorrect horizons or making creative compositions or other stylistic changes to an image.

IMPROVED: A New Structure Algorithm - The re-developed Structure tool allows you to adjust detail and clarity of an image to get a classic HDR effect with great detail or a smoother effect with less details.
